The Foamy Heads Podcast

Tucked away in the heart of Springfield, Tennessee's historic Main Street, BS Brew Works has become a beloved gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. As Robertson County's sole brewery and taproom, co-founders Bob and Shane - the 'B' and 'S' - along with Shane's wife Karen, have crafted not just an exceptional beer selection, but also a welcoming community hub. In a world where noise and distraction often reign supreme, BS Brew Works offers a respite from the chaos, inviting patrons to sit, chat, and perhaps even forge new friendships over a pint or two. Whether you're in search of your perfect brew or some delicious pub-style fare, come pay them a visit and experience the unique ambiance that sets BS Brew Works apart.

Beers we discussed:

• Bobcat Blonde American Blonde Ale: easy drinking 4.6% blonde ale that packs a ton of flavor and goes down easy. Bob and Shane definitely started us off on the right food with this one
• Point Nine Pilsner: Slightly higher in ABV, this pilsner brings along all the flavor you expect in a good refreshing pilsner. Rich wasn't always in to pilsners (as he discusses), but Mitch slowly introduces him to the style, and now he tries to get them whenever he can. Needless to say, he was excited to see a good clean pilsner on tap!
• Sunny Vanilla Cream Ale: Orlinda, the city in Robertson County, TN is known as the "sunniest spot in TN." This beer was brewed with respect to that city, providing a refreshing taste with just a slight vanilla touch on the back end- reminding us of warm sunny days. and coming in at a light 4.8%, you can drink these all day!
• Barren Plains Amber: As the boys start to move towards the darker color scale of the flight, Bob and Shane introduce the Barren Plains Amber, a 5.2% amber lager that is full bodied and smooth, all while packing in a ton of flavor throughout.
• Midsummers Night Brown Ale: Tastes light, and pours dark... Malty with chocolate, coffe, and graham cracker. This 5.3% brown ale is not too sweet- it's perfect for that midsummer night!
• Shady West Coast IPA: Rich's favorite of the flight! this solid India Pale Ale harkens back to the west coast style that started the IPA craze in America. and the IBUs are not as high as Rich thought
• Marschwahnsinn Märzen: Well, this was a surprise! a Märzen in March? Is this a leftover keg from the Octoberfest season? Nope- BS Brew Works brews their Märzen style beer twice each year- once during Octoberfest season, and another during March Madn- ahem... the big basketball games during March (we can't legally say it on here)... The name is interesting, too, and quite a few people have different pronunciations- we'll let you listen in to find out!
